Clutch wont bleed....HELP!

Hey guys,

Put a T56 in my 85 camaro. Same master cylinder but I put the 87 Cavalier Slave on it. I was told this works fine. Anyways, Ive been pumping and bleed and pumping and bleed and I am getting NOTHING out of the clutch. Wont budge. I hear fluid moving in the slave but no action from the slave. Any ideas or tricks to get this thing goin?

Thanks!

Re: Clutch wont bleed....HELP!

My guess is the master does not move enough fluid. A couple ideas to try. Best is to pressure bleed of you have a way to force pressure thru the clutch master cylinder reservoir. 2nd is vacuum bleeding with slave bleeder closed vacuum from master reservoir. 3rd gravity bleed. All these fail is $$$ but sure fix is a tick performance master but it's $3xx. It has a big bore and moves way more fluid. Also for the Caviler mc have a restriction in the line ( it will be where line leaves the mc) the 4th green ones do

Re: Clutch wont bleed....HELP!

Your post is lacking A LOT of detail.
LT1 T56, pull clutch and conversion flywheel?
85 pedals? Or some from a 4th gen?
Slave with a bleeder, or using the 93-97 F bleed method?

Thanks for the response guys. I bunch of people have done this same set up with third gen pedals and third gen master with the 87 slave and said it works fine. I got a mightyvac and get a bunch of air out of the system. The clutch is a little more stiff now but still have zero clutch movement.

It is 94 LT1 T56 with the a pull style clutch. The slave is a push style slave obviously. Not sure what you mean about conversion flywheel. I have a brand new RAM 93-97 flywheel. 85 pedals and 85 master. Slave has a bleeder but Ive bled it probably 25 times using the bleeder and someone else pumping and had zero luck. The mightvac helped a little

What is the 93-97 F bleed method?

Thanks!
